Annabeth is Three!

Miss Annabeth Ellen Jones turned 3 years old on Friday, February 3. It was a big day filled with friends, family, and princesses.

Also? I must take a moment to celebrate the fact that I SURVIVED. Contrary to how it felt on many most days, age two - twice over - did not kill me.

Here I raise my ebenezer.

It was only right to take a picture with Big Pink Bear on the eve of Annabeth's birthday.

Here's the birthday princess before she fell asleep for the last time as a two-year-old.

We made the breakfast room birthday-worthy after she went to sleep. It's Curt's tradition to get his girl flowers and balloons.

We woke Annabeth up by singing happy birthday. It took her a few minutes to snap out of her sleepiness but once she did, the birthday girl was on it.

This is her hands-on-hips pose.

Jackson tried so hard to be a fun and supportive big brother that day. He prayed the night before that he wouldn't be jealous of his sister's presents. Bless him. He had a few weak moments but overall he was a champ.

So cute! I love the fact that she had a bow in her hair with her PJ's on - love it!! My granddaughter just turned 2 so we are gearing up for the "terrible 2's." I'm hoping they won't be as bad as I remember them being.

I remember a while back you saying you were having her crib bedding made into a quilt for her big girl bed. It looks like it's done from the picture. Would you mind posting a pic of it and who did it? Since I read your great idea, I've been thinking of doing the same for my son, whose crib bedding I adore, and who will move into a big boy bed in the next 6 months. Thanks so much and happy birthday to your sweet girl!

Happy Birthday to Annabeth! I bet Big Brother wasn't terribly jealous of the lip gloss.... I remember when my baby girl was about 1 1/2 and I painted her toenails for the first time. Big brother, who was about 4, looked longingly at the polish. I then told him it was pretty much a girl thing, and then he quickly wanted nothing to do with it. :)

Man, she is a doll! My little girl (who I think is like AB personality wise!!) turns 3 in April. She has so little hair compared to AB. Hope the day was just wonderful!! Happy Birthday big 3 year old!! Where does the time go?!?

SS, I had that quilt made from fabric from Annabeth's crib bedding. The seamstress also used a ton of other fun fabrics that coordinated well with it. It turned out really cute. I plan on giving it to her when she is grown.

Besides a baby, what pregnant women get in return for surrendering their waistlines is nine months of thick, glorious hair. It’s a beautiful thing. However, when Baby is just a few months old (about the time Mommy is seeing hints of her returning waistline) it all falls out. Soon her face is framed by the re-growth—lovely inch-long hairs called baby bangs. This blog is named for that charming little phenomenon.
